This Year’s Theme is HOME

It’s the places where we live and where we come from. But it’s also a feeling of comfort and something that is familiar. Whether it’s an apartment; a house; our office; our favorite park; our City; or our World…the design of all of these places can help transform a place into that familiar, comforting feeling of home. In 2016, the DesignPhiladelphia festival will focus on events and programs that demonstrate how design can strengthen our connections to places, to ourselves, and to each other.

The 2016 DesignPhiladelphia Festival will take place from October 6-16th, with no programming on the 11th and 12th in observation of Yom Kippur.

Tracks

This year, we’ve streamlined our programming into tracks for two main reasons - to guide event planners towards developing events in line with DesignPhiladelphia’s mission, and to make attending the Festival a little more easier to navigate for attendees. Each of the six tracks corresponds to one of our program goals and is geared towards a specific segment of our audience.
